Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
neither Borrower, NAP, nor the Subordinate Lender shall have any right

servicer shall monitor the amount of funds deposited into the

an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower free of the
Agent's security interest any funds on deposit in the Collection
Account in excess of such amount. The Agent and its servicer shall
cease making such remittances as of the last Business Day of each
Collection Period. The cycle described above of hard lockbox
remittances to the Collection Account and remittances to the Borrower
when the Collection Account is adequately funded shall be repeated
during each Collection Period during the term of the Loan.

and Borrower that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(A) all Rents and Money received from Accounts or
under Leases and derived from the Mortgaged Property and all
Proceeds thereof shall be payable to Agent for the account of

nonpayment of any outstanding fees payable to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter),
(B) Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall make
deposits, or cause deposits to be made, of such Rents, Money
and Proceeds directly to the Collection Account, and Borrower

with Agent on behalf of the Lenders in the making of such
deposits or causing such deposits to be made,
(C) Borrower shall not have any right to make or
direct any withdrawals from the Collection Account or the

respect to the Mortgaged Property, unless pursuant to SECTION 5.1(X) of this
Agreement or applicable law, the Loss Proceeds are to be made available to
Borrower for restoration, all of Borrower's interest in Loss Proceeds shall be
paid directly to the Collection Account to satisfy the requirements of SECTION

Costs Account, together with any Permitted Investments in which such
Moneys are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this
Agreement, shall be held in the Capital and Leasing Costs Account (a)

made not more than once each month in an amount not less than $10,000
and held uninvested for Borrower or the Lenders in an Eligible Account
at the Collateral Agent from the close of business on the Business Day

or reimburse Borrower for replacement reserve costs reasonably
determined by Borrower or (b) for purposes otherwise requested by
Borrower and reasonably approved by the Agent in writing.
(iv) Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to Borrower's

Account, in whole or in part, Borrower shall provide the Agent with
written notice (with a copy to Collateral Agent) of such request
(including therein a statement of the purpose for the withdrawal and in
the case of a reimbursement of the Borrower, evidence that the related
costs have been paid).
36
REAL ESTATE TAXES ESCROW ACCOUNT AND INSURANCE ESCROW ACCOUNT. On or before the
Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and maintain with the Collateral Agent
two separate accounts for Property Expenses, each of which shall be an Eligible
Account and shall have the same title as the Collection Account for the benefit
of the Lenders until the Loan is paid in full. The two accounts shall be
designated the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account (the "REAL ESTATE TAXES ESCROW
ACCOUNT") and the Insurance Escrow Account (the "INSURANCE ESCROW ACCOUNT"). On
the Closing Date, the initial Lender shall deposit out of the Loan proceeds
$158,778.24 in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account and $22,960.61 in the
Insurance Escrow Account. With respect to each Payment Date, Agent shall deposit
from the Collection Account (or, if the funds for such deposit are not available
pursuant to SECTION 2.12(B), Borrower shall make a deposit of Borrower's funds),
(1) an amount equal to the Impositions portion of Monthly
Property Expenses in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account, and
(2) an amount equal to the portion of Monthly Property
Expenses equal to insurance premiums for policies of insurance required
to be maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the Insurance
Escrow Account.
Any and all Moneys remitted to the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance
Escrow Account together with any Permitted Investments in which such Moneys are

held in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance Escrow Account to be
withdrawn from the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance Escrow Account,
as applicable, by the Collateral Agent upon written request of Borrower
delivered to Agent and Collateral Agent together with documentation and other
evidence (including invoices and in the case of a reimbursement of the Borrower,
evidence that the related costs have been paid) with respect to the respective
Basic Carrying Costs towards which such funds are to be applied and held
uninvested for Borrower or the Lenders in an Eligible Account at the Collateral
Agent from the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the

such date, and applied at Borrower's option to pay directly (or reimburse
Borrower) for (x) any Impositions (in the case of the Real Estate Taxes Escrow
Account) or (y) any insurance premiums for policies of insurance required to be
maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents (in the case of the Insurance Escrow
Account), in each case currently due to be paid and not previously paid or
reimbursed. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent tax certificates or other
evidence of tax paid promptly following payment of same in order to enable the
Agent to verify the payment of taxes.
(b) Reserved.
(c) INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. All or a portion of any Moneys in the
Reserve Account shall be invested and reinvested, so long as Collateral Agent
has not received written notice from Agent that an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, by Agent in accordance with written instructions delivered by
Borrower, or after Agent has received written notice from Agent that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, by Agent, in one or more Permitted
Investments. If no written investment direction is provided to Agent by
37
Borrower, Agent shall invest such Moneys in a Permitted Investment selected by
Agent. Agent, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any
loss in investments of funds in the Reserve Account that are invested in
Permitted Investments and no such loss shall affect Borrower's obligation to
fund, or liability for funding, the Reserve Account. So long as an Event of
Default has not occurred and is not continuing, all such Permitted Investments
shall be made in the name of Agent on behalf of the Lenders or as otherwise
directed by Agent. Agent shall cause all income or other gain from investments
of Money held in the Reserve Account to be deposited in such respective account
of the Reserve Account immediately upon receipt and any loss resulting from such
investments shall be charged to such respective account of the Reserve Account;
PROVIDED, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not have such
obligation with respect to the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account and the
Insurance Escrow Account, as to which the Agent's servicer may retain all such
reinvestment income. Unless and until title to the funds therein shall have
vested in any Person other than Borrower, Borrower shall include all such income
or gain on any account of the Reserve Account as income of Borrower for federal
and applicable state tax purposes.
(d) EVENT OF DEFAULT. After Collateral Agent has received
written notice from Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall not be permitted to make any withdrawal(s) from the
Reserve Account and Agent may liquidate any Permitted Investments of the amount
on deposit in such account, withdraw and hold the proceeds of such liquidation
uninvested for Lenders in an Eligible Account at the Collateral Agent account
from the Business Day immediately preceding the date such funds are to be used
and use such amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on the succeeding Business
Day to make payments on account of the Loan in accordance with the priorities
set forth in Section 2.8.

Agent an entitlement order (i.e. an order directing transfer or redemption of
any financial asset relating to a Pledged Account) or any instruction (within
the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) originated by the Agent (i.e. an
instruction directing the disposition of funds in a Pledged
38
Account), the Borrower shall comply with such entitlement order or instruction
without further consent by any other Person.
(d) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for
purposes of the UCC, with respect to each Pledged Account, New York shall be
deemed to be the bank's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the
UCC) and the securities intermediary's jurisdiction (within the meaning of
Section 8-110 of the UCC). The Pledged Accounts shall be governed by the laws of
the State of New York.
(e) Except for the claims and interest of the Agent and of the
Borrower in the Pledged Accounts, the Borrower represents and warrants that it
does not know of any Lien on or claim to, or interest in, any Pledged Account or
in any "financial asset" (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) credited
thereto. If any Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including
any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against the Pledged Accounts or in any financial asset carried therein,
the Borrower will promptly notify the Agent thereof.

all Borrower's right, title and interest in Proceeds of any or all of
the foregoing until such time as such items are disbursed from the

(b) COVENANTS. So long as any portion of the Indebtedness is
outstanding, Borrower shall not open any account other than the Collection
Account for the deposit of Rents or Money received from Accounts or under Leases
and derived from the Mortgaged Property and all Proceeds to pay amounts owing
hereunder, other than any account for amounts required by law to be segregated
by Borrower. Borrower shall not have any right to withdraw Money from the
Reserve Account, which shall be under the sole dominion and control, and the
"control" within the meaning of Sections 9-104 and 9-106 of the UCC, of the
Agent. The Account Collateral shall be subject to such applicable laws, and such
applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

and procedures of Collateral Agent relating to demand deposit accounts generally
from time to time in effect.
(c) FINANCING STATEMENTS; FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrower
hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation
statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and
with any filing offices as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are
necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Agent in
connection herewith. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in
the same manner as described in any security agreement or pledge agreement
entered into by the parties in connection herewith or may contain an indication
or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as
the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or
prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral
granted to the Agent in connection herewith, including, without limitation,
describing such property as "all assets" or "all personal property" whether now
owned or hereafter acquired. From time to time, at the expense of Borrower,
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, and take
all further action, that Agent may reasonably request, in order to continue the
perfection and protection of the pledge and security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby.
(d) TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Borrower shall not sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral other than pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or create or permit to
exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the Account Collateral,
except for the Lien granted to Agent, and the rights of the institution acting
as Agent, under or as contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) NO WAIVER. Every right and remedy granted to Agent under
this Agreement or by law may be exercised by Agent at any time and from time to
time, and as often as Agent may deem it expedient. Any and all of Agent's rights
with respect to the pledge of and security interest in the Account Collateral
granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and to the extent permitted by law,
Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding (i) any proceeding of Borrower under the United States

of any state, (ii) the release or substitution of Account Collateral at any
time, or of any rights or interests therein or (iii) any delay, extension of
time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by Agent in the event of
any Default with respect to the Account Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No
delay or extension of time by Agent in exercising any power of sale, option or
other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to
or made upon Borrower by Agent, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit,
impair or prejudice Agent's right, without notice or demand, to take any action
against Borrower or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other
right or remedy.
(f) AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce every right,
power, remedy, option and privilege of Borrower with respect to the Account
Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of Borrower, all such acts,
things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of Borrower with respect
to the Account Collateral, which Borrower could or might
40
do or which Agent may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Agent
the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to the Account

Agent, it being understood and agreed that Collateral Agent's duties hereunder

responsible for calculating any financial ratios or generating any reports
(other than the Monthly Statement) for the Lenders or Borrower. In connection
with any discretionary action which Borrower is permitted hereunder to direct
Collateral Agent to take, if Collateral Agent shall follow Agent's directions
and not Borrower's directions, it shall have no liability to Borrower (or to any
other Person) for following any such directions of Agent and for not following
such directions of Borrower (if expressly permitted herein). Collateral Agent
shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which, in
Collateral Agent's sole reasonable judgment, could involve it in expense or
liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance
any of its own monies, unless Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, shall have
offered to Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity against such
expense, liability, suit or advance.
(e) INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall indemnify and hold
Collateral Agent, and its agents, attorneys, employees and officers harmless
from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Collateral Agent in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding any such loss,
cost or damage arising as a result of Collateral Agent's failure to adopt and
follow Accepted Practices, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or
violation of applicable law. The indemnification set forth in this paragraph
shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Indebtedness and the
termination of this Agreement.
(f) COLLATERAL AGENT'S RELIANCE. Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
fax, electronic mail message, telex or teletype message, written statement,
order or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel and other experts selected in good faith
by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of the Note
as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment,
negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Collateral Agent.
Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of Agent as it deems appropriate or it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Agent against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
42
continuing to take any such action. Provided that Collateral Agent acts in
accordance with Accepted Practices, Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in
accordance with a request of Agent, and such request and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Agent and all future
holders of the Note. All requests to Collateral Agent for wire transfers of
funds, for transfers between accounts established pursuant to this Agreement or
any other transfer not specifically described in this Agreement shall be in
writing.

have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless Collateral Agent has received written notice from Agent
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default". Collateral Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
directed by Agent, including any action under this Agreement.
(h) NON-RELIANCE ON COLLATERAL AGENT. Neither Collateral Agent
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to
the Lenders and no act by Collateral Agent hereinafter taken (including any
review of the affairs of Borrower) shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by Collateral Agent to the Lenders. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Agent
by Collateral Agent hereunder, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Lenders with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the
possession of Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
(i) REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION. Collateral Agent shall have the
right to resign as collateral agent hereunder and Agent shall have the right to
remove Collateral Agent as collateral agent hereunder, in each case upon thirty
(30) days' written notice to the other parties to this Agreement. In the event
of such resignation or removal, Agent shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent
with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), or at Agent's option in Agent's sole and absolute discretion Agent may
assume and perform the rights and obligations of Collateral Agent. No such
removal of or resignation by Collateral Agent shall become effective until a
successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted such appointment (or Agent shall
have determined to designate itself as Collateral Agent) and executed an
instrument by which it shall have assumed all of the rights and obligations of
Collateral Agent hereunder. If no such successor Collateral Agent is appointed
within sixty (60) days (or, if fees payable under the Fee Letter have not been
paid, thirty (30) days) after receipt of the resigning Collateral Agent's notice
of resignation or removal, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition a court
for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent unless Agent elects, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to assume the rights and obligations of Collateral
Agent itself. In connection with any removal of or resignation by Collateral
Agent, (A) the removed or resigning Collateral Agent shall (1) duly assign,
transfer and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent this Agreement and all
Money and Permitted Investments held by it hereunder, (2) execute such financing
statements and other instruments as may be necessary to assign to the successor
Collateral Agent the security interest existing in favor of the retiring
Collateral Agent hereunder,
43
and to otherwise give effect to such succession and (3) take such other actions
as may be reasonably required by Borrower, Agent or the successor Collateral
Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) the successor Collateral Agent
shall establish in its name, as agent for the Lenders, as secured party, the
Collection Account and Reserve Account as Borrower is required to maintain
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(j) INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Collateral Agent and its Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with Borrower or any Affiliate, as though Collateral Agent were not
Collateral Agent hereunder, or under the other Loan Documents.

Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (i) have
been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Borrower,
(ii) will not violate any provision of any Legal Requirements, any
order of any court or other Governmental Authority, the Organizational
Agreement or any indenture or agreement or other instrument to which
Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound, and (iii) will not
be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature whatsoever upon the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to, any such indenture or agreement or
material instrument other than the Loan Documents. Other than those
obtained or filed on or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower is not
required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from, or to
file declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority or other
agency in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery
or performance of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents
executed and delivered by Borrower.
(ii) The Warrants to be purchased by the initial Lender from
the Guarantor have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant
to this Agreement and, when
49
issued and delivered by the Guarantor on the Closing Date, will have
been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Guarantor, and will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantor,
enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors'
rights generally and to equitable principles.
(iii) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes a
valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable
against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors' rights
generally and to equitable principles.
(c) ENFORCEABILITY. This Agreement, the Note and each other
Loan Document executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan (including,
without limitation, any Collateral Security Instrument), is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on
creditors' rights generally and to equitable principles. This Agreement, the
Note and such other Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower (including the defense of usury),
and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense with respect thereto.
(d) LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at
law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now
pending and served or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened against
Borrower or any Collateral, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined
against Borrower or such Collateral, are reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(e) AGREEMENTS. Borrower is not in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which
Borrower or any Collateral is bound which is reasonably likely to have a

hereby, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets exceeds and will,
immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower's total
liabilities (including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
and contingent liabilities). The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower's
probable liabilities (including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured). Borrower's assets do
not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted
50
or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not
believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without
limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

debt financing whether unsecured or secured by the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof (other than the loan evidenced by the Existing Note).
(i) FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement of fact made by
or on behalf of Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. To
the best knowledge of Borrower, there is no fact that has not been disclosed to
Agent that is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) FINANCIAL INFORMATION. All historical financial statements
of Borrower and the Mortgaged Property that has been delivered by or on behalf
of Borrower to Agent is true, complete and correct in all material respects and
has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the delivery of such data,
except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Agent, there has been no change in
the financial position of Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or in the results
of operations of Borrower, which change results or is reasonably likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not incurred any obligation or
liability, contingent or otherwise, not reflected in such financial data, which
is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect upon its business operations or the
Mortgaged Property.

"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,

formed and existing limited liability company under the laws of the
State of its formation and a Single-Purpose Entity.

with the provisions of its Organizational Agreement since such

in light of the nature of its business.
(viii) Borrower has not at any time since its formation

(ix) Borrower has not at any time since its formation entered
into and was not a party to any transaction with its members (or any
predecessor corporation, partnership or limited liability company) or
any Affiliates of its members, except for in the ordinary
52

Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm's length
transaction with an unrelated third party (other than in connection
with the execution by Borrower and Manager of the Management
Agreement).
(o) NO DEFAULTS. No Default or Event of Default exists under
or with respect to any Loan Document.

material respects in compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and any other federal or state law, and no event or condition
has occurred and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation
to furnish a report to Lender under SECTION 5.1(V)(I). Other than an application

pending issues or claims before the Internal Revenue Service, the United States
Department of Labor or any court of competent jurisdiction related to any Plan

or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any ERISA Affiliate, directly or
indirectly (through an indemnification agreement or otherwise), is reasonably
likely to be subject to any material risk of liability under Section 409 or
502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. No Welfare Plan provides or will
provide benefits, including, without limitation, death or medical benefits

MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent that,
as to the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgage, as of the Closing Date:
(a) TITLE TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower owns good,
marketable and insurable fee simple title to the applicable Land, free and clear

and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the premises, and
all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Mortgaged Property without
passing over other property except for land or easement areas of or available to
the utility company providing such utility service. All roads necessary for the
full utilization of the Mortgaged Property for its current purpose have been
completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the
Mortgaged Property.
(c) CONDEMNATION. No Taking has been commenced or, to the best
of Borrower's knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the
Mortgaged Property.
(d) COMPLIANCE. The Mortgaged Property is in compliance with
all applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, building and
zoning ordinances and codes) and all applicable Insurance Requirements, except
for noncompliance which is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(e) ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Except for matters set forth in
the Environmental Reports delivered to Agent in connection with the Loan (true,
correct and complete copies of which have been provided to Agent by Borrower):
55
(i) Borrower is in full compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws (which compliance includes, but is not limited to,
the possession by Borrower or the Manager of all environmental, health

required in connection with the ownership and operation of the
Mortgaged Property under all Environmental Laws), except for
noncompliance which is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(ii) There is no Environmental Claim pending and Borrower has
not received any notices of any threatened Environmental Claims, and no
penalties arising under Environmental Laws have been assessed, against
Borrower or the Manager or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower,
against any Person whose liability for any Environmental Claim Borrower
or the Manager has or may have retained or assumed either contractually
or by operation of law, and no investigation or review is pending or,
to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened by any Governmental
Authority, citizens group, employee or other Person with respect to any
alleged failure by Borrower or the Manager or the Mortgaged Property to
have any environmental, health or safety permit, license or other
authorization required under, or to otherwise comply with, any
Environmental Law or with respect to any alleged liability of Borrower
or the Manager for any Use or Release of any Hazardous Substances.
(iii) There are no present and there have been no past
Releases of any Hazardous Substance that are reasonably likely to form
the basis of any Environmental Claim against Borrower, the Manager or
against any Person whose liability for any Environmental Claim Borrower

or by operation of law.
(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there
is not present at, on, in or under the Mortgaged Property,
PCB-containing equipment, asbestos or asbestos containing materials,
underground storage tanks or surface impoundments for Hazardous
Substances, lead in drinking water (except in concentrations that
comply with all Environmental Laws), or lead based paint, the presence
of which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(v) No liens are presently recorded with the appropriate land
records under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to the
Mortgaged Property and no Governmental Authority has been taking or, to
the actual knowledge of Borrower, is in the process of taking any

audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or that are in the
possession of Borrower in relation to the Mortgaged Property which have
not been made available to the Agent.
(f) MORTGAGE AND OTHER LIENS. The Mortgage creates a valid and
enforceable first priority Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein, as
security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances applicable to the Mortgaged Property. This Agreement creates a
valid and enforceable first priority Lien on all Account
56
Collateral. Each Collateral Security Instrument establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to, the
rights and property described therein. All property covered by any Collateral
Security Instrument in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing
of a financing statement is subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or
recorded, as appropriate (or irrevocably delivered to an agent for such
recordation or filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid first priority
Lien with respect to the rights and property that are the subject of such
Collateral Security Instrument to the extent governed by the UCC.
(g) ASSESSMENTS. There are no pending or, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, proposed special or other assessments for public
improvements or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property, nor are there any
contemplated improvements to the Mortgaged Property that may result in such
special or other assessments.
(h) NO JOINT ASSESSMENT; SEPARATE LOTS. Borrower has not
suffered, permitted or initiated the joint assessment of the Mortgaged Property
(i) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with
any portion of the Mortgaged Property which may be deemed to constitute personal
property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be
levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to
the Mortgaged Property as a single lien. The Mortgaged Property is comprised of
one or more parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot and none of
which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot.
(i) NO PRIOR ASSIGNMENT. The Agent is the collateral assignee
of Borrower's interest under the Leases. There are no prior assignments of the
Leases or any portion of the Rent due and payable or to become due and payable
which are presently outstanding (other than in connection with the loan
evidenced by the Existing Note).
(j) PERMITS; CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. To the actual knowledge
of Borrower, (i) Borrower has obtained all Permits necessary to the use and
operation of the Mortgaged Property except where the failure to obtain such
Permits is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) the
use being made of the Mortgaged Property is in conformity with the certificate
of occupancy and/or such Permits for the Mortgaged Property and any other
restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting the Mortgaged Property.
(k) FLOOD ZONE. Except as shown on the Survey, the Mortgaged
Property described therein is not located in a flood hazard area as defined by

structural defects and all building systems contained therein are in good
working order subject to ordinary wear and tear.
(m) SECURITY DEPOSITS. Borrower and the Manager are in
compliance with all Legal Requirements relating to all security deposits with

that Borrower owns or has pending, or under which it is licensed, are in good
standing and uncontested. There is no right under any Intellectual Property
necessary to the business of Borrower as presently conducted or as Borrower

infringing, and has not received notice of infringement with respect to asserted
Intellectual Property of others. There is no infringement by others of material
Intellectual Property of Borrower.
(o) NO ENCROACHMENTS. Except as shown on the Survey, to the
best knowledge of Borrower, (i) all of the Improvements which were included in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, (iii)
no easements or other encumbrances upon the Mortgaged Property encroach upon any
of the Improvements, so as to materially and adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgaged Property and (iv) all of the Improvements comply
with all material requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances.
(p) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The Management Agreement is in full
force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder
by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any other party thereto and
no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a default, breach or violation by Borrower or, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, any other party thereunder or entitle Borrower or, to the
best knowledge of Borrower, any other party thereto to terminate any such
agreement.
(q) LEASES. The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any
Leases other than the Leases described in the rent roll delivered to Agent in
connection with the making of the Loan. No person has any possessory interest in
the Mortgaged Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to
the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are in full force and effect
and there are no defaults thereunder by either party and no conditions which
with the passage of time and/or notice would constitute defaults thereunder,
except for such defaults as are not reasonably likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 4.3. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower agrees that
(i) all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in SECTION
4.1 and 4.2 and in the other Loan Documents delivered on the Closing Date are

representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or
in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the
Lenders and Collateral Agent notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Lenders and Collateral Agent or on their behalf.

agrees that, from the date hereof and until payment in full of the Indebtedness:
(a) EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: INSURANCE.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect its existence as a limited liability company,
rights, licenses, Permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its
business and comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements
applicable to it and the Mortgaged Property, except for such non-compliance
which is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower
shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names
and preserve all the remainder of its property necessary for the continued
conduct of its business and keep the Mortgaged Property in good repair, working
order and condition, except for reasonable wear and use (and except for casualty

pay all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to Borrower and the Mortgaged Property
in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement, subject,
however, to Borrower's rights to contest payment of Impositions in accordance
with the Mortgage. Borrower's obligation to pay Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to
this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon a Lender an
obligation to pay any property taxes on the Mortgaged Property or other
Impositions. Borrower shall (x) pay its trade payables within sixty (60) days
from the date such trade payables are incurred (except for any such trade
payables that are being disputed by Borrower in good faith and for which

trade payables to exceed 2% of the Principal Indebtedness.
(c) LITIGATION. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to
Agent of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in
writing) against Borrower, or the Mortgaged Property which is reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION.
(i) If any investigation, site monitoring, cleanup, removal,
restoration or other remedial work of any kind or nature is required
pursuant to an order or directive of any Governmental Authority or
under any applicable Environmental Law, because of or in connection
with the current or future presence, suspected presence, Release or
suspected
59
Release of a Hazardous Substance on, under or from the Mortgaged
Property or any portion thereof (collectively, the "REMEDIAL WORK"),
Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion
all such Remedial Work, and shall conduct such Remedial Work in
accordance with the National Contingency Plan promulgated under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
42 U.S.C.ss.9601 et seq., if applicable, and in accordance with other
applicable Environmental Laws. In all events, such Remedial Work shall
be commenced within such period of time as required under any
applicable Environmental Law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall
not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above
specified time periods: (x) if prevented from doing so by any
Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within
such time periods would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work
violating any Environmental Law or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and
after prior notice to Agent, is contesting by appropriate legal,
administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with
due diligence the need to perform Remedial Work, as long as (1)
Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay
performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither
the Mortgaged Property nor any part thereof or interest therein shall
be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower does not perform the Remedial
Work being contested, and Borrower would have the opportunity to do so,
in the event of Borrower's failure to prevail in the contest, (3) the
Lenders would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to
any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished
additional security as provided in CLAUSE (4) below, or to any risk of
criminal liability, and neither the Mortgaged Property nor any interest
therein would be subject to the imposition of any lien for which
Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in CLAUSE
(4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and
(4) Borrower shall have furnished to the Agent additional security in
respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage
that may result from Borrower's failure to prevail in such contest in
such amount as may be reasonably requested by the Agent.
(ii) If requested by the Agent, all Remedial Work under CLAUSE
(I) above shall be performed by contractors, and under the supervision
of a consulting Engineer, each approved in advance by the Agent which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such
Remedial Work. If Borrower does not timely commence and diligently
prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, the Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), upon 30 days prior written notice to Borrower of its
intention to do so, cause such Remedial Work to be performed. Borrower
shall pay or reimburse the Agent on demand for all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, but excluding internal
overhead, administrative and similar costs of the Lenders) reasonably
relating to or incurred by the Agent in connection with monitoring,
reviewing or performing any Remedial Work in accordance herewith.
(iii) Borrower shall not commence any Remedial Work under
CLAUSE (I) above, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent
decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws without providing notice to the Agent as provided in
SECTION 5.1(F). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or
threatened presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or
emanating from the
60
Mortgaged Property poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or
welfare of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that
an immediate response is necessary or required under applicable
Environmental Law, Borrower may complete all necessary Remedial Work.
In such events, Borrower shall notify Agent as soon as practicable and,
in any event, within three Business Days, of any action taken.
(e) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: INSPECTION.
(i) Borrower shall not permit a Hazardous Substance to be
present on, under or to emanate from the Mortgaged Property, or migrate
from adjoining property controlled by Borrower onto or into the
Mortgaged Property, except under conditions permitted by applicable
Environmental Laws and, in the event that such Hazardous Substances are
present on, under or emanate from the Mortgaged Property, or migrate
onto or into the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall cause the removal
or remediation of such Hazardous Substances, in accordance with this
Agreement and Environmental Laws (including, where applicable, the
National Contingency Plan promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42,
U.S.C.ss.9601 et seq. ), either on its own behalf or by causing a
tenant or other party primarily at fault to perform such removal and
remediation. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent, and to seek the remediation of, any migration of Hazardous
Substances onto or into the Mortgaged Property from any adjoining
property.
(ii) Upon reasonable prior written notice, the Agent shall
have the right, except as otherwise provided under Leases, at all
reasonable times during normal business hours to enter upon and inspect
all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, PROVIDED that such
inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation or the
tenants, residents or occupants of the Mortgaged Property and shall be
done by persons with the appropriate level of security clearance, as
may be required. If the Agent has reasonable grounds to suspect that
Remedial Work may be required, the Agent shall notify Borrower and,
thereafter, may select a consulting Engineer to conduct and prepare
reports of such inspections (with notice to Borrower prior to the
commencement of such inspection). Borrower shall be given a reasonable
opportunity to review any reports, data and other documents or
materials reviewed or prepared by the Engineer, and to submit comments
and suggested revisions or rebuttals to same. The inspection rights
granted to the Agent in this SECTION 5.1(E) shall be in addition to,
and not in limitation of, any other inspection rights granted to the
Agent in this Agreement, and shall expressly include the right (if the
Agent reasonably suspects that Remedial Work may be required) to
conduct soil borings, establish ground water monitoring xxxxx and
conduct other customary environmental tests, assessments and audits.
(iii) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse the
Lenders on demand for all sums advanced and reasonable expenses
incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, but
excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of the
Lenders) reasonably relating to, or incurred by Lenders in connection
with, the inspections and reports described in this SECTION 5.1(E) (to
the extent such inspections and reports relate to the Mortgaged
Property) in the following situations:
61
(x) If the Agent has reasonable grounds to believe,
at the time any such inspection is ordered, that there exists
an occurrence or condition that could lead to an Environmental
Claim;
(y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence or
condition that is reasonably likely to lead to an
Environmental Claim; or
(z) If an Event of Default with respect to the
Mortgaged Property exists at the time any such inspection is
ordered, and such Event of Default relates to any
representation, covenant or other obligation pertaining to
Hazardous Substances, Environmental Laws or any other
environmental matter.
(f) ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICES. Borrower shall promptly provide
notice to Agent of:
(i) any Environmental Claim asserted by any Governmental
Authority with respect to any Hazardous Substance on, in, under or
emanating from the Mortgaged Property, which might involve remediation

(ii) any proceeding, investigation or inquiry commenced or
threatened in writing by any Governmental Authority, against Borrower,
with respect to the presence, suspected presence, Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Substances from or onto, in or under any property
not owned by Borrower (including, without limitation, proceedings under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. ss.9601, ET SEQ.), which might involve
remediation cost or liability greater than $25,000;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against
Borrower, against any other party occupying the Mortgaged Property or
any portion thereof or against the Mortgaged Property which become
known to Borrower, which might involve remediation cost or liability

on the Mortgaged Property or on any real property adjoining or in the
vicinity of the Mortgaged Property which affects the Mortgaged Property
and which could involve remediation cost or liability greater than
$25,000;
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work; and
(vi) any of the foregoing clauses (i) - (v) that a tenant
notifies to Borrower under a Lease with respect to such tenant.

copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person and any notices, reports or other written
communications submitted to any Governmental Authority with respect to the
matters described in SECTION 5.1(F).
62
(h) ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS. The Agent may join and participate
in, as a party if the Agent so determines, any legal or administrative
proceeding or action concerning the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof
under any Environmental Law, if, in the Agent's reasonable judgment, the
interests of the Lenders shall not be adequately protected by Borrower;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Lenders shall not participate in day-to-day decision
making with respect to environmental compliance. Borrower shall pay or reimburse
the Lenders on demand for all reasonable sums advanced and reasonable expenses
incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, but excluding
internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of the Lenders) by the
Lenders in connection with any such action or proceeding.

reimburse, defend, and hold harmless the Agent, each Lender, the Collateral
Agent and each of its respective parents, subsidiaries, Affiliates,

occurred while Borrower owned the Mortgaged Property):
(i) events, circumstances, or conditions which form the
reasonable basis for an Environmental Claim;

(including, without limitation, strict liabilities), administrative and
judicial actions and proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses,
costs, expenses, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments,
awards, amounts paid in settlement, and litigation costs, of whatever
kind or nature and whether or not incurred in connection with any
judicial or administrative proceedings (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs of defense) (the
"LOSSES") imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnified Parties (except to the extent same are directly and solely
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified
Party) and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating
to any one or more of the following:
(A) any breach by Borrower of obligations under, or a
material misrepresentation contained in, the Note or any of
the other Loan Documents;
(B) any untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any information concerning Borrower, the
Mortgaged Property or the Loan or the omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated in such
information or necessary in order to make the statements in
such information or in light of the circumstances under which
they were made not misleading;
(C) any and all lawful action that may be taken and
is taken by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of
the provisions of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection
with same, or in connection with Borrower or any Affiliate of
Borrower becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding;
(D) any accident, injury to or death of persons or
loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways;
(E) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways;
(F) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or
be in compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents;
64
(G) performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof pursuant to
provisions of this Agreement;
(H) any failure of the Mortgaged Property to be in
compliance with any Legal Requirement;
(I) the enforcement by any Indemnified Party of the
provisions of this SECTION 5.1(J); and
(J) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which
may be asserted against the Lenders by reason of any alleged
obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or
discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained
in any Lease.
Any amounts payable to an Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this
SECTION 5.1(J)(I) shall become due and payable ten (10) days after written
demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the tenth (10th) day
after demand until paid.
(ii) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect,
defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties
from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties and directly or
indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the
making and/or recording of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents (excluding income and/or franchise taxes).
(iii) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect,
defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties
from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation,
defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited
transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any
individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be
required, in the Lender's reasonable discretion) that the Indemnified
Parties may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default
under Borrower's covenants with respect to ERISA and employee benefits
plans contained herein.
(iv) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this
SECTION 5.1(J) of notice of the making of any claim or the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made by such Indemnified Party against Borrower under
this SECTION 5.1(J), notify Borrower in writing, but the omission so to
notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which it
may have to any Indemnified Party under this SECTION 5.1(J) or
otherwise unless and to the extent that Borrower did not otherwise
possess knowledge of such claim or action and such failure resulted in
the forfeiture by Borrower of substantial rights and defenses. In case
any such claim is made or action is brought against any Indemnified
Party and such Indemnified Party seeks or intends to seek indemnity
from Borrower, Borrower will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with
65
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; and, upon
receipt of notice from Borrower to such Indemnified Party of its
election so to assume the defense of such claim or action and only upon
approval by the Indemnified Party of such counsel (such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower will not be liable to
such Indemnified Party under this SECTION 5.1(J) for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each
Indemnified Party will be entitled to employ counsel separate from such
counsel for Borrower and from any other party in such action if such
Indemnified Party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest
exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by Borrower not
advisable. In such event, Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such separate counsel, subject to reimbursement of
such costs if the Indemnified Party requiring such separate counsel is
found not to be entitled to the indemnity protection of this SECTION
5.1(J). Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an
Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit
or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought
hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Party is an actual or
potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding. No Indemnified Party shall enter into a settlement
of or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any action,
claim, suit or proceeding as to which an Indemnified Party would be
entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent
of Borrower.
The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification set forth in this SECTION
5.1(J) shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Indebtedness and
termination of this Agreement.
(k) ACCESS TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower shall permit
agents, representatives and employees of the Agent (with the appropriate level
of security clearance, as may be required) to inspect the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof at such reasonable times as may be requested by Agent upon
reasonable advance written notice, subject, however, to the rights of Borrower
and of the tenants of the Mortgaged Property.
(l) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Borrower shall promptly advise Agent in
writing of any change in Borrower's condition, financial or otherwise, that is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default.
(m) COOPERATE IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Except with respect to any
claim by Borrower, the Managing Member or the Guarantor against the Agent or any
Lender, Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Agent with respect to any
proceedings before any Governmental Authority that are reasonably likely to in
any way materially affect the rights of the Lenders hereunder or any rights
obtained by the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection
therewith, shall not prohibit Agent, at its election, from participating in any
such proceedings.
(n) PERFORM LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall observe, perform
and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions required to be
observed, performed or satisfied
66
by it, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses required to be paid
by it, under the Loan Documents.
(o) INSURANCE BENEFITS. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate
with Agent in obtaining for the Lenders the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds
lawfully or equitably payable to Borrower or Lenders in connection with the
Mortgaged Property. Agent shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably
incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs
of Agent) out of such Insurance Proceeds, all as more specifically provided in
this Agreement.
(p) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense:
(i) upon Agent's reasonable request therefor given from time
to time, pay for (a) reports of UCC, tax lien, judgment and litigation
searches with respect to Borrower, and (b) searches of title to the
Mortgaged Property, each such search to be conducted by search firms
designated by Agent in each of the locations designated by Agent;
(ii) furnish to Agent all instruments, documents,
certificates, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and
each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument
required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;
(iii) execute and deliver to Agent such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such
other acts necessary, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the
Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Note, as
Agent may reasonably require (including, without limitation, tenant
estoppel certificates, an amended or replacement Mortgage, UCC
financing statements or Collateral Security Instruments); and
(iv) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable
acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective
carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, as Agent shall reasonably require from time to
time.
(q) MANAGEMENT OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
(i) The Mortgaged Property shall be managed at all times by
the Manager or another manager reasonably satisfactory to Agent,
pursuant to a Management Agreement; PROVIDED, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, management of the Mortgaged Property may be transferred to
Borrower or a successor manager that is an Affiliate of the Borrower
without the Agent's approval, so long as such manager, if an Affiliate,
is paid a management fee at a market rate and delivers a Manager's
Subordination. Borrower shall cause any manager of the Mortgaged
Property to agree that such manager's management agreement is subject
and subordinate in all respects to the Lien of the Mortgage. A
Management Agreement may be terminated (1) by Borrower at any time in
accordance with the provisions of such Management Agreement so long as
a successor manager shall have been appointed and such successor
manager has (i) entered into a Management Agreement, subject to any
modifications approved by Agent, which approval shall not be
67
unreasonably denied, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) has executed and
delivered the Manager's Subordination to Agent, and (2) by Agent upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Borrower and the Manager (a)
upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or (b) if
the Manager commits any act which would permit termination under the
Management Agreement (subject to any applicable notice, grace and cure
periods provided in the Management Agreement) or (c) if a change of
majority control occurs with respect to the Manager. Borrower shall
cooperate with the transfer of management to a successor manager
appointed by Agent at any time pursuant to the preceding sentence.
Subject to the first sentence of this SECTION 5.1(Q)(I), Borrower may
from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Mortgaged
Property with Agent's prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor
manager selected hereunder by Agent or Borrower to manage the Mortgaged
Property shall be a reputable management company having substantial
experience in the management of real property of a similar type, size
and quality in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Loan has been
included in a Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are
issued, neither the Agent or Borrower shall appoint a successor or
replacement manager, without first having obtained a Rating
Confirmation. Borrower further covenants and agrees that any manager of
Mortgaged Property shall at all times while any Indebtedness is
outstanding maintain worker's compensation insurance as required by
Governmental Authorities, if any.
(ii) Borrower further covenants and agrees that the Mortgaged
Property shall be operated pursuant to the Management Agreement and
that Borrower shall: (w) promptly perform and/or observe all of the
material covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
by it under the Management Agreement and do all things reasonably
necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights
thereunder; (x) promptly notify the Agent of any material default under
the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (y) promptly deliver to
the Agent a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital
expenditures plan, notice and report received by it under the
Management Agreement, including, but not limited to, financial
statements; and (z) promptly enforce the performance and observance of
the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed
by the Manager under the Management Agreement.
(r) FINANCIAL REPORTING.
(i) Borrower shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept
and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, books, records and accounts reflecting in
reasonable detail all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all
items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the
Mortgaged Property and ownership of the Mortgaged Property and in
connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in
connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property, whether such
income or expense may be realized by Borrower or by any other Person
whatsoever. Agent shall have the right from time to time at all times
during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to
Borrower to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of
Borrower or other Person maintaining such
68
books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof
as Agent shall desire. During the continuation of an Event of Default
(including, without limitation, an Event of Default resulting from the
failure of the Borrower to deliver any of the financial information
required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 5.1(R)), Borrower
shall pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent to
examine Borrower's accounting records, as Agent shall reasonably
determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of the
Lenders' interest.
(ii) Borrower shall furnish to Agent annually, within ninety
(90) days following the end of each Fiscal Year, a complete copy of
Borrower's financial statement certified by the chief executive
officer, the chief financial officer or the treasurer of the Guarantor
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied covering Borrower's
financial position and results of operations, for such Fiscal Year and
containing a statement of revenues and expenses, a statement of assets
and liabilities and a statement of Borrower's equity, all of which
shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent;
PROVIDED, that notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by
Agent, any such annual financial statement shall be audited by a "Big
Four" accounting firm or such other Independent certified public
accountant acceptable to Agent. Agent shall have the right from time to
time to review and consult with respect to the auditing procedures used
in the preparation of such annual financial statements. Together with
Borrower's annual financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Agent
an Officer's Certificate certifying as of the date thereof (x) that the
annual financial statements present fairly in all material respects the
results of operations and financial condition of Borrower all in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and (y) whether there exists
an Event of Default or Default, and if such Event of Default or Default
exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the
action then being taken to remedy same.
(iii) Borrower shall furnish to Agent, within forty-five (45)
days following the end of each Fiscal Year quarter a true, complete and
correct quarterly unaudited financial statement prepared in accordance
with GAAP (subject to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal
year end adjustments) with respect to Borrower for the portion of the
Fiscal Year then ended. Agent shall have the right from time to time to
review and consult with respect to the procedures used in the
preparation of such quarterly financial statements.
(iv) Borrower shall furnish to Agent, within fifteen (15)
Business Days after request, such further information with respect to
the operation of the Mortgaged Property and the financial affairs of
Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Agent, including all
business plans prepared for Borrower.

69
(vi) At least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each of
Borrower's Fiscal Years, Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted
to Agent for its approval, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, an Operating Budget for Property Expenses, Capital
Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions, TI Costs and replacement
reserve costs for the next Fiscal Year for the Mortgaged Property.
Until so approved by Agent for the subsequent Fiscal Year, the
Operating Budget approved by Agent for the preceding Fiscal Year shall
remain in effect for purposes of SECTION 2.12; PROVIDED, that for so
long as such prior Operating Budget remains in effect, amounts set
forth in the prior Operating Budget with respect to Property Expenses,
TI Costs and Leasing Commissions shall be deemed increased on a
percentage basis by an amount equal to the greater of (x) actual
increases then known to Borrower and (y) the increase in the Consumer
Price Index (expressed as a percentage) as measured over the calendar
year that the prior Operating Budget was in effect.
(vii) The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Agent copies of all financial statements, reports, forecasts and
other information delivered to the Subordinate Lender pursuant to
Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement, simultaneously with the delivery
of such items to the Subordinate Lender.

operation of the Mortgaged Property to be conducted at all times in a manner
consistent with at least the level of operation of the Mortgaged Property as of

or any Affiliates of its members or any other Persons.
(ix) Borrower shall not enter into or be a party to any
transaction with its members (or any predecessor corporation,
partnership or limited liability company) or any Affiliates of its
members, except for in the ordinary course of business on terms which
are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a
comparable arm's length transaction with an unrelated third party
(other than in connection with the execution by Borrower and the
Manager of the Management Agreement).
(u) ERISA. Borrower shall deliver to Agent as soon as
possible, and in any event within ten days after Borrower knows or has reason to
believe that any of the events or conditions specified below with respect to any
Plan or Multiemployer Plan has occurred or exists, an Officer's Certificate

imposed by any Rating Agency involved in any Secondary Market Transaction,
including but not limited to,
72

significant expense) as Agent or the Rating Agencies may reasonably
request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction,
(ii) amending the Loan Documents and Organizational Agreement

(v) reviewing the offering documents relating to any Secondary

otherwise as part of its business development. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this SECTION 5.1(W) shall not obligate Borrower and/or Guarantor to participate
in any registered public offering of any securities.
(x) INSURANCE.
(i) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the

customarily included in a standard "all-risk" or "special cause of
loss" form and against loss or damage by other risks and hazards
covered by a standard extended coverage insurance policy (including,
without limitation, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious
mischief, burglary, collapse, theft and such other coverages as may be

that the insurer would not deem Borrower a co-insurer under said
policies. The policies of insurance carried in accordance with this
SECTION 5.1(X) shall be paid not less than ten (10) days in advance of
the due date thereof and shall contain the "Replacement Cost
Endorsement" with a waiver of depreciation. If terrorism coverage is
excluded on an "all-risk" basis, then the Borrower shall obtain
coverage for terrorism and similar acts in the standalone terrorism
market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to reductions in the stated amounts and types of
coverage required to be maintained by Borrower hereunder if such levels
of coverage or types of insurance, as determined by Agent in its sole
discretion, (A) are not available at commercially reasonable rates and
(B) are not at the time commonly maintained for properties similar to
the Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which the
Mortgaged Property is located.
(ii) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Borrower and Agent, shall also obtain and maintain or cause
to be obtained and maintained during the entire term of the Loan the

hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available
under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (and any amendment or successor
act thereto) in an amount at least equal to the maximum limit
of coverage available with respect to the Improvements and
Equipment under said Act;
(B) Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial
General Liability insurance, including a broad form
comprehensive general liability endorsement and coverage for
broad form property damage, contractual damages, personal
injuries (including death resulting therefrom) and a liquor

for both injury to or death of a person and for property
damage per occurrence and $3 million in the aggregate for the
Mortgaged Property, and such other liability insurance
reasonably requested by Agent; in addition, at least $10
million excess and/or umbrella liability insurance shall be
obtained and maintained for any and all claims, including all
legal liability imposed upon Borrower and all court costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the ownership,
operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property;
(C) business interruption insurance (including rental
value) in an annual aggregate amount equal to the estimated
gross revenues from the Leases of the Mortgaged Property
(including, without limitation, the loss of all Rents and
additional Rents payable by all of the lessees under the
Leases (whether or not
74
such Leases are terminable in the event of a fire or
casualty)), such insurance to cover losses for a period of the
longer of (x) one year (or, if the Loan has been included in a
Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued
and the Rating Agencies so require, eighteen (18) months)
after the date of the fire or casualty in question or (y) the
period from the time of loss until all repairs are fully
completed with reasonable diligence and dispatch, plus an
extended period of indemnity commencing at the time repairs
are completed for a period of not less than 90 days and to be
increased or decreased, as applicable, from time to time
during the term of the Loan if, and when, the gross revenues
from the Leases of the Mortgaged Property materially increase
or decrease, as applicable (including, without limitation,
increases from new Leases and renewal Leases entered into in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement), to reflect all
increased Rent and increased additional Rent payable by all of
the lessees under such renewal Leases and all Rent and
additional Rent payable by all of the lessees under such new
Leases;
(D) insurance against loss or damage from (x) leakage
of sprinkler systems and (y) explosion of steam boilers, air
conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and
equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or
hereafter installed in the Improvements (without exclusion for
explosions), covering all boilers or other pressure vessels,
machinery and equipment located in, on, or about the
Improvements; coverage is required in an amount at least equal
to the full replacement cost of such equipment and the
building or buildings housing same and shall extend to
electrical equipment, sprinkler systems, heating and air
conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment and piping;
(E) worker's compensation insurance coverage (in
amounts not less than the statutory minimums for all persons
employed by Borrower or its tenants at the Mortgaged Property
and in compliance with all other requirements of applicable
local, state and federal law) and "Employers Liability"
insurance in amounts not less than required by statute;
(F) during any period of repair or restoration,
builder's "all risk" insurance in an amount equal to not less
than the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property
against such risks (including, without limitation, fire and
extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed
limits) as Agent may request, in form and substance acceptable
to Agent;
(G) ordinance or law coverage to compensate for the
cost of demolition, increased cost of construction, and loss
to any undamaged portions of the Improvements, if the current
use of the Mortgaged Property or the Improvements themselves
are or become "nonconforming" pursuant to the applicable
zoning regulations, or full rebuildability following casualty
is otherwise not permitted under such zoning regulations;
75
(H) if required by Agent as a result of the Mortgaged
Property being located in an area with a high degree of
seismic activity, earthquake damage insurance in an amount and
form acceptable to Agent; and
(I) such other insurance as may from time to time be
reasonably required by Agent in order to protect its interests
with respect to the Loan and the Mortgaged Property and to
conform such requirements to then current standards for a
Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued.
(iii) All policies of insurance (the "POLICIES") required
pursuant to this SECTION 5.1(X):
(A) shall be issued by an insurer approved by Agent
which has a claims paying ability rating of not less than "AA"
(or the equivalent) by Rating Agencies satisfactory to Agent
(one of which shall be Standard & Poor's Ratings Group) and
A:VIII or better as to claims paying ability by AM Best,
(B) shall name Agent as an additional insured and
contain a standard noncontributory mortgagee clause and a
Agent's Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming
Agent (and/or such other party as may be designated by Agent)
as the party to which all payments made by such insurance
company shall be paid,
(C) shall be maintained throughout the term of the
Loan without cost to Agent,
(D) shall contain such provisions as Agent deems
reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest
(including, without limitation, endorsements providing that
neither Borrower, Agent nor any other party shall be a
co-insurer under said Policies and that Agent shall receive at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any
modification, reduction or cancellation),
(E) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against
Agent,
(F) shall be for a term of not less than one year,
(G) shall be issued by an insurer licensed in the
state in which the Mortgaged Property is located,
(H) shall provide that Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make premium payments to prevent any
cancellation, endorsement, alteration or reissuance, and such
payments shall be accepted by the insurer to prevent same, and
(I) shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to Agent and reasonably approved by Agent as to
amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and
insureds to the extent not otherwise specified in this SECTION
5.1(X).
76
Copies of said Policies, certified as true and correct by Borrower, or
insurance certificates thereof, shall be delivered to Agent. Not later
than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of each of the
Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Agent satisfactory evidence of the
renewal of each Policy. The insurance coverage required under this
SECTION 5.1(X) may be effected under a blanket policy or policies
covering the Mortgaged Property and other property and assets not
constituting a part of the Collateral; PROVIDED that any such blanket
policy shall provide at least the same amount and form of protection as
would a separate policy insuring the Mortgaged Property individually,
which amount shall not be less than the amount required pursuant to
this SECTION 5.1(X) and which shall in any case comply in all other
respects with the requirements of this SECTION 5.1(X). Upon demand
therefor, Borrower shall reimburse Agent for all of Agent's or its
designee's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining any or
all of the Policies or otherwise causing the compliance with the terms
and provisions of this SECTION 5.1(X), including (without limitation)
obtaining updated flood hazard certificates and replacement of any
so-called "forced placed" insurance coverages to the extent Borrower
was required to obtain and maintain any such Policy or Policies
hereunder and failed to do so. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such
Policies (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS") as the same become due and payable,
it being understood that, without limiting Borrower's obligation to pay
the Insurance Premiums, Borrower may requisition and apply funds from
the Insurance Escrow Account to pay such Insurance Premiums shall
furnish to Agent evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with
receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Agent
in the event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Agent or
the Collateral Agent). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and
receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring
Policy, then Agent may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure,
such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower
agrees to reimburse Agent for the cost of such Insurance Premiums
promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) days after request by Agent,
Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage
required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Agent, based on
then industry-standard amounts of coverage then being obtained by
prudent owners of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property in the
same applicable market region as the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall
give Agent prompt written notice if Borrower receives from any insurer
any written notification or threat of any actions or proceedings
regarding the non-compliance or non-conformity of the Mortgaged
Property with any insurance requirements.
(iv) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed,
in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give
prompt notice thereof to Agent.
(A) In case of loss covered by Policies, Agent may
either (a) jointly with a Borrower settle and adjust any claim
and agree with the insurance company or companies on the
amount to be paid on the loss or (b) allow Borrower to agree
with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be
paid upon the loss; PROVIDED, that Borrower may settle and
adjust losses aggregating not in excess of $50,000, agree with
the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid
upon the loss and collect and receipt for any
77
such Insurance Proceeds; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if (x) at the
time of the settlement of such claim an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (y) the Agent and the Borrower
are unable to agree upon a joint settlement or (z) the Agent
disapproves of the Borrower's proposed settlement with the
insurance company, then Agent shall settle and adjust such
claim without the consent of Borrower. In any such case Agent
shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any
such Insurance Proceeds subject to and to the extent provided
for in this Agreement. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Agent in the adjustment and collection of
Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and
be secured by the Mortgage and shall be reimbursed by Borrower
to Agent upon demand therefor.
(B) In the event of any insured damage to or
destruction of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
(herein called an "INSURED CASUALTY") where the aggregate
amount of the loss, as reasonably determined by an Independent
insurance adjuster, (i) is less than twenty percent (20%) of
the Principal Indebtedness or (ii) if the damage is to
personal property of the Borrower located on the Mortgaged
Property and the concurrent damage to the real property is
less than twenty percent (20%) of the Principal Indebtedness,
and if, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, the Mortgaged
Property can be restored by not later than the first to occur
of (a) twelve (12) months of settlement of the claim and (b)
the expiration of the business interruption insurance and, in
any case, not later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity
Date to an economic unit not less materially valuable
(including an assessment of the impact of the termination of
any Leases due to such Insured Casualty) and not less useful
than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, or if Agent
otherwise elects to allow a Borrower to restore the Mortgaged
Property, then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Insurance Proceeds (after reimbursement of
any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent in
connection with the collection of any applicable Insurance
Proceeds) shall be made available at Borrower's option to
directly pay or to reimburse Borrower for the cost of
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged
Property or part thereof subject to the Insured Casualty, as
provided for below, and, in the case of personal property,
such replacement or restoration shall be utilized to maintain
existing Leases or contracts with NAP Obligors. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to
prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding.
Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs (and if required by
Agent, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Agent in
advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding
in excess of the Insurance Proceeds made available pursuant to
the terms hereof (the "DEFICIENT AMOUNT").
(C) Except as provided above, the Insurance Proceeds
collected upon any Insured Casualty shall, at the option of
Agent in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the
Indebtedness as provided in SECTION 2.7(B) of this Agreement
or applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding
78
the affected Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to the
Insured Casualty, in the manner set forth below.
(D) In the event that Insurance Proceeds (after
reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in
connection with the collection of any applicable Insurance
Proceeds), if any, shall be made available to Borrower for the
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of any portion
of the affected Mortgaged Property, Borrower covenants to
restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least
comparable value as prior to such damage or destruction, all
to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements and plans
and specifications approved in advance by Agent, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(E) In the event Borrower is entitled to payment or
reimbursement out of Insurance Proceeds, such proceeds shall
be held in an Eligible Account as provided in SECTION 2.12(F)
and disbursed from time to time as the restoration progresses
upon Agent being furnished with (1) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection(s)
of the work performed) that the restoration, repair,
replacement and rebuilding covered by the disbursement has
been completed in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by Agent, (2) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3) funds, or, at Agent's
option, assurances reasonably satisfactory to Agent that such
funds are available and sufficient in addition to the
Insurance Proceeds to complete the proposed restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architect's
certificates, waivers of lien for prior disbursements,
contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements,
bonds and other evidences of cost, payment (if applicable) and
performance of the foregoing repair, restoration, replacement
or rebuilding as Agent may reasonably require and approve.
Agent may, in any event, require that all plans and
specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and
rebuilding be submitted to and reasonably approved by Agent
prior to commencement of work. Agent may retain a construction
consultant to inspect such work and review Borrower's request
for payments and Borrower shall, on demand by Agent, reimburse
Agent for the reasonable fees and disbursements of such
consultant. No payment made prior to the final completion of
the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall
exceed ninety percent (90%) of the hard construction costs
value of the work performed from time to time (except for
restoration work on a trade by trade basis or on an hourly
basis for professional services in which event, payment may be
made in full upon the completion of such work); funds other
than Insurance Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to
disbursement of such proceeds; and, at all times, the
undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the accounts
of Agent, together with funds deposited for that purpose or
irrevocably committed to the repayment of Agent by or on
behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least
sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Agent to pay for the
cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or
rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien,
except for Permitted Encumbrances. Any surplus which may
remain out of
79
Insurance Proceeds held by Agent after payment of such costs
of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be
paid to Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.
(v) Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in
kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance
required under this Agreement that would be considered "co-insurance"
or adversely affect the ability to collect under a policy of insurance
required hereunder.
(y) CONDEMNATION.
(i) Borrower shall promptly give Agent written notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for a Taking and
shall deliver to Agent copies of any and all papers served in
connection with such proceedings. Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed
as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with
exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Condemnation
Proceeds for said Taking. With respect to any compromise or settlement
in connection with such proceeding, Agent shall jointly with Borrower
compromise and reach settlement unless at the time of such Taking an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Indebtedness
has been accelerated, in which event Agent shall compromise and reach
settlement without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this SECTION 5.1(Y), Borrower is authorized to
negotiate, compromise and settle, without participation by Agent,
Condemnation Proceeds of up to $50,000 in connection with any Taking.
Notwithstanding any Taking, Borrower shall continue to pay the
Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Indebtedness shall not
be reduced except in accordance therewith.
(ii) Borrower shall cause the Condemnation Proceeds to be paid
directly to the Collection Account as provided in SECTION 2.7(B) of
this Agreement. Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply any such
Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness
(whether or not then due and payable).
(iii) With respect to a Taking in part, which shall mean any
Taking which does not render the affected Mortgaged Property physically
or economically unsuitable in the reasonable judgment of Agent for the
use to which it was devoted prior to the Taking, Borrower shall cause
the Condemnation Proceeds to be paid to Agent as described above or
deposited into the applicable account pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, to be applied to the cost of repairing, replacing,
restoring or rebuilding the affected Mortgaged Property as follows:
(A) Provided that Condemnation Proceeds shall be made
available to Borrower for the restoring, repairing, replacing
or rebuilding of the affected Mortgaged Property, Borrower
hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
same to be of at least comparable value and, to the extent
commercially practicable, of substantially the same character
as prior to the Taking, all to be effected in accordance with
applicable law and plans and specifications reasonably
approved in advance by Agent. Borrower shall pay all
80
costs (and if required by Agent, Borrower shall deposit the
total thereof with Agent in advance) of such restoring,
repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the
Condemnation Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(B) The Condemnation Proceeds held by Agent shall be
held in an Eligible Account as provided in SECTION 2.12(F) and
disbursed from time to time as the restoration progresses upon
Agent being furnished with (1) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection(s)
of the work performed) that the restoration, repair,
replacement and rebuilding covered by the disbursement has
been completed in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by Agent, (2) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3) funds, or, at Agent's
option, assurances satisfactory to Agent that such funds are
available and sufficient in addition to the Condemnation
Proceeds to complete the proposed restoration, repair,
replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architect's
certificates, waivers of lien for prior disbursements,
contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements,
bonds and other evidences of cost, payment and performance of
the foregoing repair, restoration, replacement or rebuilding
as Agent may reasonably require and approve. Agent may, in any
event, require that all plans and specifications for such
restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted
to and reasonably approved by Agent prior to commencement of
work. Agent may retain a construction consultant to inspect
such work and review any request by Borrower for payments and
Borrower shall, on demand by Agent, reimburse Agent for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such consultant. No
payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent
(90%) of the hard construction costs value of the construction
work performed from time to time (except for restoration work
on a trade by trade basis or on an hourly basis for
professional services in which event, payment may be made in
full upon the completion of such work); funds other than
Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement
of such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of
such proceeds remaining in the hands of Agent, together with
funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to
the repayment of Agent by or on behalf of Borrower for that
purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable
judgment of Agent to pay for the cost of completion of the
restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear
of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain
out of Condemnation Proceeds held by Agent after payment of
such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding
shall be paid to Borrower so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
(C) If the affected Mortgaged Property is sold,
through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by
Agent of any such Condemnation Proceeds to which it is
entitled hereunder, Agent shall have the right, whether or not
a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought,
recovered or denied, to have reserved in any foreclosure
decree a right to receive said award or payment, or a portion
thereof sufficient to pay the Indebtedness. In no case shall
any such
81
application reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required
pursuant to this Agreement, other than the final payment on
the Note.
(z) LEASES AND RENTS.
(i) Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Agent,
Borrower's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases
and Rents as collateral for the Loan, it being intended by Borrower
that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not
an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Agent
shall not be construed to bind Agent to the performance of any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or
otherwise impose any obligation upon Agent. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Agent such additional instruments, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent, as may hereafter be reasonably
requested in writing by Agent to further evidence and confirm such
assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this SECTION 5.1(z),
Agent grants to Borrower a license to lease, own, maintain, operate and
manage the Mortgaged Property and to collect, use and apply the Rent,
which license is revocable only upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement. Any portion of
the Rents held by Borrower shall be held in trust for the benefit of
Agent for use in the payment of the Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the license
granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked, and Agent
shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or
not Agent enters upon or takes control of the Mortgaged Property. Agent
is hereby granted and assigned by Borrower the right, at its option,
upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver
to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the
license shall be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness as set
forth in SECTION 2.8 hereof.
(ii) All Leases entered into by Borrower shall provide for
rental rates comparable to then-existing local market rates and terms
and conditions commercially reasonable and consistent with
then-prevailing local market terms and conditions for similar type
properties. With respect to any new third party Lease for more than 10%
of the net rentable area of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall not
enter into such Lease, without the prior written approval of Agent,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. With
respect to any new Lease which Borrower proposes to enter into after
the Closing Date where Terremark Worldwide, Inc. or its Affiliates
shall be the tenant ("AFFILIATE LEASES"), Borrower shall not enter into
such Lease unless such Lease shall be on market terms and conditions
which the Agent shall have approved in advance. Borrower shall furnish
Agent with (1) detailed term sheets in advance in the case of any
Leases, modifications, amendments or renewals for which Agent's consent
is required and (2) in the case of any other Leases, executed copies of
such Leases upon written request. All renewals or amendments or
modifications of Leases that do not satisfy the requirements of the
first sentence of this SECTION 5.1(Z)(II) shall be subject to the prior
approval of Agent. All Leases shall be substantially written on the
standard lease form previously approved by Agent which form shall not
be materially changed without Agent's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
82
provided, however, that in the case of Affiliate Leases, such
standard lease form shall be substantially in the form of the
NAP Leases without the amendments to the NAP Leases executed
in connection with the closing (i.e., will not require the
conveyance of the tenant's personal property in connection
therewith). All Leases executed after the date hereof shall
provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage, and that
the lessee agrees to attorn to Agent. Borrower:
(A) shall observe and perform all of the material
obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall
not do or permit to be done anything to materially impair the
value of the Leases as security for the Indebtedness;
(B) shall promptly send copies to Agent of all
written notices of default which Borrower shall send or
receive thereunder;
(C) shall enforce all of the material terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part
of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed and shall
effect a termination or diminution of the obligations of
tenants under leases, only in a manner that a prudent owner of
a similar property to the Mortgaged Property would enforce
such terms covenants and conditions or effect such termination
or diminution in the ordinary course of business;
(D) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one
(1) month in advance (excluding common area maintenance
reimbursement estimates);
(E) shall not execute any other assignment of
lessor's interest in the Leases or Rents; and
(F) shall not convey or transfer or suffer or permit
a conveyance or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or of any
interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and
rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations
of, lessees thereunder.
(iii) Borrower shall deposit security deposits of lessees
which are turned over to or for the benefit of Borrower or otherwise
collected by or on behalf of Borrower, into an Eligible Account with
the same name as the Collection Account and shall not commingle such
funds with any other funds of Borrower. Any bond or other instrument
which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits
under any applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation,
any letter of credit held as security under a Lease) shall be
maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as
hereinabove described, shall name Agent as payee or mortgagee
thereunder (or at Agent's option, be fully assignable to Agent) and
shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements
and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Agent; PROVIDED that all
letters of credit received by Borrower shall be assigned to Agent.
Borrower shall, upon request, provide Agent with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Agent of Borrower's compliance with the foregoing. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Borrower shall, upon Agent's request, if permitted by any applicable
Legal Requirements, turn over to Agent the security deposits (and any
83
interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion
of the Mortgaged Property, to be held by Agent subject to the terms of
the Leases.
(aa) MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause
the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair,
subject to wear and tear and damage caused by casualty or condemnation. The
Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or altered
(except for normal replacement of the Equipment, Improvements contemplated in an
approved Operating Budget or pursuant to Leases in effect from time to time or
for removals, demolition or alterations that cost up to $50,000) without the
consent of the Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Except with respect to an Insured Casualty which shall be governed by
the terms and conditions provided herein, Borrower shall, or shall cause any
tenants obligated under their respective Leases to, promptly repair, replace or
rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that becomes damaged, worn or
dilapidated except where the failure to do so is not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall complete and pay for any structure at
any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall
not initiate, join in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive
covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof which can be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect
without consent of the Agent. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of
all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming
use, Borrower will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued
or abandoned if such discontinuance of abandonment would cause such
nonconforming use to no longer be permitted without the express written consent
of the Agent. Borrower shall not (i) change the use of the Land in any material
respect, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Mortgaged
Property or to any portion thereof or (iii) take any steps whatsoever to convert
the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative
form of management.
(bb) TAXES ON SECURITY. Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges,
filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies payable with respect
to the Note or the Lien created or secured by the Loan Documents, other than
income, franchise and doing business taxes imposed on Agent or any Lender or
Collateral Agent. If there shall be enacted any law (1) deducting the Loan from
the value of the Collateral for the purpose of taxation, (2) affecting Agent's
Lien on the Collateral or (3) changing existing laws of taxation of mortgages,
deeds of trust, security deeds, or debts secured by realty, or changing the
manner of collecting any such taxes, Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent, on
demand, all taxes, costs and charges for which Agent is or may be liable as a
result thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if such payment would be prohibited by law or
would render the Loan usurious, then instead of collecting such payment, Agent
may declare all amounts owing under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and
payable.
ARTICLE VI.
NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Section 6.1. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees
that, until payment in full of the Indebtedness, it will not do, directly or

(f) DEBT CANCELLATION. Cancel or otherwise forgive or release
any material claim or debt owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate
consideration or in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.
(g) AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Enter into, or be a party to, any
transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower, except in the ordinary course of
business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Agent in advance and on terms
which are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained
in a comparable arm's length transaction with an unrelated third party (other
than the Management Agreement).
(h) CREATION OF EASEMENTS. Except as expressly permitted by or
pursuant to the Mortgage or this Agreement, create, or permit the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof to become subject to, any easement, license or
restrictive covenant, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, provided, that the

that any such easement, license or restrictive covenant is reasonably necessary
for the continued use, enjoyment, access to or operation of the applicable
Mortgaged Property.
(i) MISAPPLICATION OF FUNDS. Distribute any Rents or Moneys

have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days;
then, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, Agent or Collateral Agent or its successors or assigns, may, in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, take such
action, without further notice or demand, as Agent on behalf of the Lenders or
its successors or assigns, deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
against Borrower and in and to all or any portion of the Collateral (including,
without limitation, declaring the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and
payable) and may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies
provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and/or the Collateral
(including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in
equity).
Section 7.2. REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, other remedies
available to Agent or Collateral Agent or the Lenders against Borrower under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to
Borrower, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lenders at any time and
from time to time, whether or not all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall
be declared due and payable, and whether or not Agent shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any portion of
the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Agent or Collateral Agent shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may
determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent
and the Lenders permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or
in the other Loan Documents.
(b) In the event of the foreclosure or other action by Agent
or Collateral Agent to enforce Agent's remedies in connection with all or any
portion of the Collateral, Agent shall apply all Net Proceeds received to repay
the Indebtedness in accordance with SECTION 2.8,
89
the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such Net Proceeds and the
remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by
the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is
liable for the repayment of all the Indebtedness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Note shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the Net
Proceeds actually received by Agent with respect to the Collateral and applied
in reduction of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, after payment by Borrower of all Transaction Costs
and costs of enforcement.
(c) Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
the Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, with respect to any and
all bankruptcy proceedings that are now or hereafter commenced in connection
with the Mortgaged Property, to (i) vote to accept or reject any plans of
reorganization, (ii) vote in any election of a trustee, (iii) elect the
treatment of secured claims as specified in SECTION 1111(B) of the Bankruptcy
Code, and (iv) make any other decisions requested of holders of claims or
interests that the Borrower would have had the right to do in such bankruptcy
proceedings in the absence of an Event of Default.
Section 7.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers and
remedies of Agent, Collateral Agent, or any Lender under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Agent,
Collateral Agent or any Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to Borrower,
or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent or any Lender's rights,
powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such
time and in such order as Agent may determine in Agent's sole discretion. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event
of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as
a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of any Default or
Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default
or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a
deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage on the
Mortgaged Property, to the extent necessary to foreclose on other parts of the
Collateral.
Section 7.4. DEFAULT ADMINISTRATION FEE. At any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Indebtedness, as
reimbursement and compensation for the additional internal expenditures,
administrative expenses, fees and other costs associated with actions to be
taken in connection with such Event of Default, and regardless of whether Agent
shall have commenced the exercise of any remedies pursuant to SECTION 7.2, the
Default Administration Fee shall be payable by Borrower to Agent upon demand.
Section 7.5. CURATIVE ADVANCES. If any Event of Default occurs
and is not cured by Borrower after notice from the Agent, then Agent or
Collateral Agent may expend such sums as either shall reasonably deem
appropriate to cure or attempt to cure such Event of Default. Borrower shall
immediately repay all such sums so advanced, which sums shall immediately become
part of the Indebtedness, bear interest at the Default Rate from the date
advanced until the date repaid, and be secured by all Collateral.

proceeds of the Note delivered pursuant hereto were disbursed from New York,
which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and
to the underlying transaction embodied hereby, and in all respects (including,

objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum,
and (ii) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such
suit, action or proceeding. Borrower does hereby designate and appoint

amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent or waiver referred to in any
Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any

against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be

delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in insisting upon strict performance of
any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power,
remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, or any other
instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver
thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due
date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan
Document, Agent and each Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right

Section 8.8. HEADINGS. The Article and Section headings in
this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall
not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 8.9. ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in
the Loan Documents, or any portion of the foregoing (including, without
limitation, Borrower's rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties
hereunder and thereunder) without Agent's prior written consent. Each Lender
shall have the right to assign or participate this Agreement and/or its interest
in any of the other Loan Documents and the obligations hereunder to any Person.
In the event of an assignment by any Lender, (a) the assignee shall have, to the
extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would
have if it were an original "Lender" hereunder; (b) the assignee shall be deemed
for all purposes to be a "Lender" hereunder; and (c) upon any such substitution
of Lender, a replacement or addition "Lender signature page" shall be executed
by the new Lender and attached to this Agreement and thereupon become a part of
this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any assignment, the new Lender shall
provide notice to Borrower of the identity, address and other pertinent
information pertaining to the new Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, after an assignment by any Lender, the "Lender"
(prior to such assignment) shall continue to have the benefits of any rights or
indemnifications and shall continue to have the obligations contained herein
which such Lender had during the period such party was a "Lender" hereunder.
(b) The Agent may from time to time elect to enter into a
servicing agreement with a servicer, pursuant to which the servicer shall be
appointed to service and administer the Loan and the Account Collateral in
accordance with the terms hereof and to exercise any and all other rights of the
Lenders with respect to the Loan as set forth in such servicing agreement. The
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower if the Agent shall elect to appoint or
change the servicer, and all notices and other communications from the Borrower
to the Agent shall be delivered to the servicer with a copy concurrently
delivered to the Agent, and any notice, direction or other communication from
the servicer to the Borrower shall have the same force and effect as a notice,
direction or communication from the Agent. The servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for any cost, expense or liability which is incurred by the servicer
pursuant to such servicing and administrative duties and which would otherwise
be reimbursable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Lenders incurred such cost,
expense or liability in the first place. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that the servicer shall be a third party beneficiary to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.10. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any
93
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.11. PREFERENCES. Agent and the Lenders shall have no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or
against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. The Lenders shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all
payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder,
provided that such application or reapplication is performed by the Lenders in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable Loan
Document. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any
Lender for Borrower's benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent
or such Lender.
Section 8.12. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Borrower shall not be entitled
to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Agent, any Lender or Collateral
Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or another Loan
Document specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Agent,
such Lender and/or Collateral Agent to Borrower and except with respect to
matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements,
permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the
right to receive any notice from Agent, any Lender and Collateral Agent with
respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does
not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Agent or such
Lender or Collateral Agent to Borrower.
Section 8.13. FAILURE TO CONSENT. If Borrower shall seek the
approval by or consent of Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Note, or
any of the other Loan Documents, and Agent or the Lenders shall fail or refuse
to give such consent or approval, then Borrower shall not be entitled to any
damages for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Agent or the
Lenders, it being intended that Borrower's sole remedy shall be to bring an
action for an injunction or specific performance.
Section 8.14. SCHEDULES INCORPORATED. The information set
forth on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Schedules attached
hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same
effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 8.15. OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any
assignee of any Lender's interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or
defenses which are unrelated to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor or this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. No such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be
interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any
such assignee upon this Agreement or upon any other Loan Document. Any such
right to interpose or assert
94
any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or
proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 8.16. NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP. Borrower, Agent
and each Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of
borrower and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower
and any Lender nor to grant any Lender any interest in the Collateral other than
that of secured party, mortgagee or lender.
Section 8.17. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS DEFENSE. To the
fullest extent Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower,
and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event
of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any
right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in
inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates
of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the
right of any Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Collateral for the
collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for
collection, or the right of any Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of
the Net Proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
Section 8.18. WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim,
other than compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against
it by Agent or its agents.
Section 8.19. CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement
shall prevail. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by
counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents
and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party that drafted same.
Section 8.20. BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Borrower and the
initial Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Credit Suisse First
Boston, the expenses of which shall be paid solely by the Borrower and its
Affiliates). Borrower and initial Lender hereby agree to indemnify and hold the
other and Collateral Agent harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising
from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of the indemnifying
party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of
this SECTION 8.20 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement
and the repayment of the Indebtedness.
Section 8.21. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall
be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.
95
Section 8.22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Agent, Borrower and each
Lender hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen
(15) days prior written notice by Borrower or such Lender to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in
writing, certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in
full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and stating whether
or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing, and, if so, specifying each such
Default or Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it shall be a condition
precedent to any Lender's obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this
SECTION 8.22, that such Lender shall have received, together with Borrower's
request for such statement, an Officer's Certificate stating that, to the
knowledge of Borrower, no Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of
such certificate (or specifying such Default or Event of Default).
Section 8.23. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all

ARTICLE IX.
THE AGENT
Section 9.1. APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act as its agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically
delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in SECTION 9.5 and the first
sentence of SECTION 9.6 hereof shall include reference to its Affiliates and its
own and its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall
have no duties or responsibilities to the Lenders except those expressly set
forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender; (b)
shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower, or
any other Person to perform any of their obligations hereunder or thereunder;
(c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and (d) shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or
instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection
herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
Section 9.2. RELIANCE BY AGENT. Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without
limitation, any thereof by telephone, facsimile transmission, telex, electronic
mail, or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed
or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected
by Agent in good faith. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in
accordance with the instructions given by all of the Lenders, and such
instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
Section 9.3. DEFAULTS. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless
Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such
Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that
Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default,
Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall (subject to
SECTION 9.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as shall be
99
directed by all Lenders, PROVIDED THAT, unless and until Agent shall have
received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders
except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be
taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all
of the Lenders.
Section 9.4. RIGHTS AS A LENDER. With respect to the Loan made
by it, Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Agent, and the term "LENDER" or "LENDERS" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and
its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money
to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with
Borrower or any of their Affiliates as if it were not acting as Agent, and Agent
and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower or such
Affiliate for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 9.5. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower, but without limiting the
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents) ratably in accordance with
their respective interests in the Loan, for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out
of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the Transaction (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under the
Loan Documents, but excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the
performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender
shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.
Section 9.6. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each
Lender agrees and acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
on Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its own
decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or
under any other Loan Document. Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or to inspect the properties or books of
Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of Borrower or any of their Affiliates that may come into
the possession of Agent or any of its Affiliates.
100
Section 9.7. FAILURE TO ACT. Except for action expressly
required of Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in
all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and
thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from
the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under SECTION 9.5 hereof
against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 9.8. RESIGNATION OF AGENT. Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign upon
giving notice thereof to the Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such resignation
shall not be effective until such time as the successor Agent is in place and
shall deliver written notice of such appointment to Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If
no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent, that shall be a sophisticated financial institution.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent,
such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE
9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
Section 9.9. AGENCY FEE. Each Lender will pay to Agent an
agency fee as may be agreed upon between such Lender and Agent. Borrower shall
not be liable for the payment of such fee.
Section 9.10. CONSENTS UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Agent may consent
to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents,
PROVIDED that, without the prior consent of each Lender, Agent shall not release
any Collateral or otherwise terminate any Lien under any Loan Document providing
for collateral security, or agree to additional obligations being secured by
such collateral security (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall
be junior to the Lien in favor of the Lenders), except that no such consent
shall be required, and Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering
Collateral that is the subject of a disposition permitted hereunder.
Section 9.11. NOTICES, REPORTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS. Agent
shall provide, at its expense, copies of each notice, report, document,
correspondence or other written communication delivered to Agent by Borrower or
any Affiliate of Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document, to each Lender
identified in such notice, report, document, correspondence or other written
communication or reasonably determined by Agent to be entitled thereto or
affected thereby, as soon as practicable after Agent's receipt thereof.
